AITA For Refusing To Pay For My Brother's Friends At My Birthday Party At A Restaurant Because... ----- AITA For Refusing To Pay For My Brother's Friends At My Birthday Party At A Restaurant Because They Took $600 Worth Of Food And Didn't Even Eat It... ----- Hi, I’m Ellie. I just turned twenty-four and decided to celebrate by treating myself and a few close friends to a nice dinner at a trendy restaurant in Boston. I had saved around five hundred dollars to cover my meal, some drinks, and treat my friends a little. A few days before the dinner, my younger brother Jason asked if he could come. I said yes — but made it very clear it was just him. When I arrived, Jason was already there... with four college friends I barely knew. I was stunned but didn’t want drama on my birthday, so I sat down, hoping they would just order modestly. Instead, they went wild — ordering bottles of wine, multiple entrees, even a $120 seafood tower. I quietly told the server I would only be paying for myself, my three friends, and Jason. When the bill came, it was almost $1,300 — with about $600 racked up by Jason’s friends. Jason laughed and expected me to pay for everyone. I refused. I paid my portion and left them to figure out the rest. Later, I found out they argued with the restaurant, tried to dispute the bill, and even attempted to walk out. Parents had to bail them out, and some of them got banned from the restaurant. My family went ballistic — calling me selfish and saying I should have "just paid." Jason twisted the story to claim I had invited his friends, and even one of his friend’s moms sent me a Venmo request for $150, blaming me for the "stress" her son experienced. I declined it. Then, plot twist: Jason texted me asking if I could front the cost for his own birthday dinner at the same restaurant, promising to Venmo me back "later." I just laughed and said no. I sent the screenshots to my mom and told her if she cared so much about supporting "broke college kids," she could pay for him herself. After everything, I finally realized: setting boundaries does not make you cruel. It means you respect yourself. I am done apologizing for not letting people walk all over me. ----- #redditfamily #reddit #familyrelationships #redditstories
